Just 20 minutes from downtown Traverse City!! You will feel right at home in this award winning timber frame masterpiece sitting high and dry on 10 private acres and 160 feet of pristine Pearl Lake (adjacent 10 acres and 156' of frontage available). Fabulous architecture and exceptional green design featuring SIP panel construction, soaring cathedral ceilings, a gourmet island kitchen, expansive bedrooms on all 3 levels, home automation, library, private master bedroom balcony, multiple living spaces, dual sided fireplace, lake views from nearly every room, custom dog shower and so much more! Pearl Lake is a little known gem of an all sports lake with only 60 houses on it. Just over 500 acres and 3 islands, Pearl Lake's shoreline meanders with deep inlets hosting a vast array of wildlife. With nearly half of the shoreline being either state land or protected preserve, Pearl Lake is pure serenity. Just imagine listening to the loons and watching the bass swim by (yes there are that many fish). Or imagine snowmobiling right across the lake to the state trails! As soon as you see it, you will understand why this home has won so many awards and has been featured in so many publications. This one checks all the boxes: pristine waterfront on a deep section of the all sports lake, fish galore, privacy, gourmet kitchen, room to relax, recreation trails, home office, low maintenance landscaping, super energy efficient, optional main-floor master, and award winning architecture. This is the house that you would be proud to call "home".
